A-SMGCS SYSTEM "VEGA"
Purpose
Advanced Surface Monitoring and Ground Control System (A-SMGCS) “VEGA“ is intended to provide the controllers’ staff with credible information on location in aerodrome movement area and identification of aircraft, transportation vehicles and other objects of surveillance, for monitoring of access to the runway and occupancy thereof, for maintaining aerodrome capacity, also in conditions of limited visibility, with ensuring thereat the level of aerodrome traffic safety required.
CAF generates unified information model basing on data obtaining from all available dependent and independent surveillance sources: SMR, PSR/SSR, MLAT, ADS-B, ATC system, RCMS LEC system, AODB, Meteo, Universal Coordinated Time Server.
Main functions of A-SMGCS “VEGA”:
– providing the controllers with credible consolidated data concerning location and movement parameters of the objects on aerodrome movement surface;
– automation of surface movement surveillance and monitoring functions;
– identification of unauthorized objects and movements thereof;
– generation of alarms and warnings of potential conflicts as well as creation of conflict resolution recommendations;
– solving of other information and calculation tasks, which are necessary to be solved for ensuring safety of traffic in aerodrome zone at high traffic intensity.
A-SMGCS CAF “VEGA” comprises the following software-hardware complexes:
- SW-HW complex for combining of data;
- SW-HW complexes for controllers (quantity is subject to defining in the course of placing the order for equipment);
- SW-HW complex for engineer;
- SW-HW complex for flight director;
- SW-HW complex for registration, recording and archiving.
Set of A-SMGCS CAF “VEGA” comprises as well remote consoles for control and displaying of data, network equipment required , operational documentation and SPTA.
Distinguished features of A-SMGCS “VEGA”»
- High performance data and technical parameters of A-SMGCS CAF “VEGA” are ensured by means of application of double “hot” stand-by, modern network techniques of distributed multi-processor processing of data that allows increasing functional potentialities of automated facilities complex and adapting to special features of an airport and to the Customer’s requirements.
